There is definitely a way to verify driver's license ID numbers. I've seen photos used as an easier option since they can OCR the info instead of making the user type in the 12-digit code. I'm guessing it's just some companies don't care.
- Scoundreller 3y agoA lot of them are garbage when it comes to user provided photos. Names are difficult because they can have near-infinite variations (unlike words). Have also had a provider that insisted on sending in a picture of a barcode for something (too many users entering in the values wrong), but on their side, it was just a human typing them in, and still made an error.
- coderintherye 3y agoThis is not entirely true. Most states do not have a way for 3rd-parties to verify a license ID number. There is a non-profit, AAMVA (AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATORS) which provides some businesses with access to verify ids in some states. A list of states supported is here https://www.aamva.org/identity https://www.aamva.org/identity That said, things are changing and hopefully more states will adopt something more standardized.
